Always Right Match Committee - Round 8, 2018 vs Brisbane Lions

I thought Macrae Hunter and Maclean were outstanding and the difference between winning and losing. Dahlhaus Wallis Jong and Dunkley all continue to frustrate because of their indifferent disposal. Daniel is another midfielder who uses the ball well.

Can’t agree on Wally. He did a very good job on Lyons keeping him to 11. Also thought Dunkley was good. 19 and a goal, and had to ruck for a while, competes in the air - 9 tackles. Dahlhaus was in our best handful of players - 10 score involvements, huge in a number of ground ball contests.

In Bontempelli , Schache, Campbell

Out English, Honeychurch, Richards

I actually like the idea of bringing in Schache to face Brisbane. It will change their focus and he will lift against his old team.

But, on the other hand, if any team would know him inside out it would be Brisbane. Their defenders would know his every weakness from training and match practice. Then again he should know their defensive style pretty well and know where best to exploit it.

So Bont is doubtful with his hip again.

Any chance we go in unchanged?

Possible but it sounded like one of Campbell or Trengove would be an in. Maybe for Honeychurch?

Based on the stats, Trengove with 25 disposals may get a call up. We should know about The Bont by Thursday.

Must have been 2 of the best disposals of all time!

Its an interesting one, if Trengove comes in I'd suggest Boyd becomes first ruck and Trengove relief. If its Campbell its the opposite. I prefer the latter, I think we need more specialist's in our team and Tom is a much better tap ruckman which also enables Boyd to play more forward.

I'd suggest the match committee will go with Trengove though, we have given him a 3 year deal so you would expect we would bias slightly toward playing him. Well in the first year anyhow. He is also slightly more mobile which helps playing against Martin who had the lazy 28 touches yesterday.

If we do rest English I'd put him in the paddock for the week let him freshen up before he comes back in.

Robbert Klomp got a telly once for a performance like that.

Trengove has gone up against Martin as first ruck before (R7, 2016). Martin won the hitouts 51-14, but Trengove had a blinder around the ground (25 possessions, 15 contested, 13 clearances, 6 tackles, 5 I50s, 3 Brownlow Votes).

Might tip the scales his way.

I'd think English to continue the first ruck and hopefully with Trengove to relieve and occasionally Boyd. Or Trengove taking the bulk of the load.

Why both having Trengove in the forwardline and Boyd forward when Boyd is a forward and Trengove seems to be here to be versatile?

Campbell is a dinosaur, just hasn't got the mobility for the modern game.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 8, 2018 vs Brisbane Lions

As I misposted in another thread, I looked a little further into Trengove's performances v Brisbane.

Last year he played them twice, the first time as a forward he had 17 possessions and kicked 3 goals, the 2nd time as a 2nd ruckman he had 17 possessions, 13 contested and 5 clearances (all season highs).

His 3 Brownlow Vote effort against Martin in 2016 was the only 3 vote game of his career.

He clearly has a soft spot for playing Brisbane. I'd bring him in this week.

Pretty sure Trengove comes in, just hope it’s as no. 1 ruck - and not just based on the above impressive stats. He could be the ruck Bevo has been looking for.

In : Trengove, Schache
Out : English, Honeychurch

Give the Bont another week - if cherry ripe, in for Jong
